Description:
Ever wanted to make furniture that’s both beautiful and functional? In this two-day class, you’ll start by building a low stool. You’ll learn essential woodworking skills such as measuring, cutting, sanding, and joinery to assemble a sturdy stool frame. On day two, Phil Syphrit, local expert seat weaver, will lead the rattan weaving portion of the class, transforming your wooden frame into a completed woven stool. By the end of the workshop, you’ll have learned core carpentry skills and created a personalized piece to enjoy at home. No prior woodworking or seatweaving experience required.

HOW TO CHOOSE A PAYMENT >

  • I consider myself middle income/wealth. Paying this price may be a sacrifice, but I can find the resources to do so. This is the full cost of running a course including paying our teachers a fair wage, covering insurance, maintaining tools and facilities, managing administration, and supporting our family.

  • I consider myself low-income/low-wealth. I cannot access this course without financial help.

  • I consider myself low-middle income/wealth. Paying full price for this course presents somewhat of a financial hardship.

  • I consider myself upper-middle income/wealth. I would like to make a donation on top of the full price of the course in order to help subsidize access for those who cannot pay the full tuition.

  • I have the resources to make a substantial donation to ensure that these classes remain accessible to people of all income/wealth levels.
